Only on your opponent's turn, obviously. It's in the name, INSTANT. Gotta catch them off guard.
Actually, instants can be played at almost any point in the game, not just during your own turn or your opponent's, but also in response to other spells being cast or abilities being activated. As long as you have the mana, you can cast an instant. This flexibility is what makes instants a powerful tool in any MTG player's arsenal.
